IMO you will not get it back. They'll use the tried and tested model adopted by Amazon...'restricted product which probably infringes someone elses rights, we'll keep it'.
I guess the proceeds of crime should be handed over to the authorities, but there's no record of Amazon ever doing it. They simply sit on it and wait for seller to say 'see you in court' which, in the case of stealth accounts selling dodgy wares, never happens.
The reason was prohibited item policy - prohibited items are not allowed
I was selling completely legitimate digital items but I was offering digital delivery when only physical delivery is permitted.
You won’t get your account back that’s for sure eBay are not to keen on digital items.
If your account is ligit with real info then I would pester them for the funds absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t pay your funds although this may take 60 days and on the other hand if it’s stealth then forget it you’ll not be getting your funds back.

this is nonsense.
why would government get the money and how is it even related.
There is no clear information about it. If you rise a complain with ebay they will tell you they will not release it, however i got all my money released so far. most of the time after 2 month, sometimes longer.
If they do not release it you can rise a formal complain with ebay and if you will not get any answer or a non statisfing one you can complain to the regulator, which is cssf in luxembourg or FCA in UK (since 01.10.2021).
But i recomend to wait at least for 3 month befor doing anything
